How cares about an API, it's all about the data dump that is available for download and used to be updated monthly.
I am not sure what your agenda is, if you are somehow related to Wikidata or Google and why this is only your eight post in 1526days on HN. But one it cannot be denied that there is evident that the demise of Freebase will hurt us all (except Google) in the long term and a lot of data won't survive/be included in Wikidata.
(I do like Wikipedia, but I noticed their notability guidelines and some admins gone wrong do hurt for example the German Wikipedia a lot, which is actually shrinking as more pages get deleted than added. Some good projects from German Wikipedia like the Toolserver which hosts the map-data and the geo-database of all cities and landmarks are great. But Wikidata with its long development history should have been done by Wikimedia itself not Wikipedia Germany. It started from SemanticWiki research project and it took way too long and is still not that good) http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Blutet-Wikipedia-aus-..., http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/S-Artikel-schrumpfen/fo...
